I've had a couple of previous Denim & Co. several years ago. I found them to be very soft and never had trouble shedding.

@nana59 I remember that shedding chenille but I think they've really improved the way they make them. I just received a D&C chenille sweater that looks and feels heavenly. What line is the TSV? Do you have an item number?

I was just wearing a cute denim and co. chenille zip hoodie with matching sleeveless shell the other day, and it was not shedding. I forgot I had that set. It is from the good old days when the designers of denim and co. had really nice taste for quality, fresh, yet classic pieces. I also found a denim and co. coatI had forgotten about from several years ago. Wonderful quality, Black twill, really cute on the body, with zipper plus metal fasteners, the name of which I cannot recall. I think if them as what one might find on a child’s slicker. Sorry for going off topic a bit, but denim and co. musthave changed designers at some point because I don’t see such well made, fresh, preppy pieces anymore.

As for the upcoming chenillevsweater tsv, it doesn’t look too bad, but the open front without even one button makes it an easy pass for me. I hate always having to grab a sweater to keep it closed. No closure makes it impractical and sloppy on me.

Thanks a lot, @haddon9. I probably don't need that.

@libbyannE. I've been extremely disappointed in the fall offering of Denim & Co. clothing. It seems like they just reordered the same old tunics in the same colors. Then there are the prints most of which look like they belong on an old lady's sofa. I love prints but most of what I've seen I wouldn't wear on a bet. I think Gary has been on an extended vacation....at least mentally. People beg for certain basic styles of jeans but they never materialize. I think I've ordered one D&Co. top but quite a bit from Martha, Isaac, and WWC.

Once I bought a chenille sweater and wore over a white blouse. When I got hot and tried to take it off at work, OMG......the blouse was covered in shedded chenille.....I washed it and washed it and it still shed. I guess that is why I cringe at the name.

I agree with the poster that has the older denim and company chenille pieces, i have a sweater from probably 15yrs. ago or longer, it is good quality, had two actually, no one has good quality any more.

I actually still have one of D&C's original 2 piece chenille cardigan and shell. The few times I've worn it, I found it to be comfortable but it did shed some. You really have to be careful of it 'catching' on things as well. It looks exactly like the same sweater but I bought it for less than the TSV price and got another piece with it.

I saw that. Thinking about it ... the olive?, or the black?.

The D&C chenille tunic length sweater that came out just a few weeks ago did get good reviews I noticed. I am still thinking on that one .., like that is has a subtle pattern on the front,

I do not mind the cardigans without buttons, I figure on a colder or a real windy day, I already have plenty to choose from with buttons for that. The no buttons/button holes just give it a more clean look. And, of course, one with can always belt it also if you like that look.

Chenille is pretty and soft. A nice hi/lo effect in the fabric ... well now, given that thought, the olive it is for me!

Would also be a nice 🎁 for that cardi lover on your list!

Plus, with the extended return policy in place, any shedding issues whatsoever will definitely be noticed in plenty of time for a refund.

OK - like the olive, but also ...

... must say that mallard blue or the rose blush are also pretty colors.

OK then ... the olive? or the mallard blue? for myself. And, the rose blush would look excellent on my mother bringing a touch of color to her cheeks ....I think I need a cup of coffee to help me decide, yep ☕️!

Happy shopping ladies whether it be for a gift or for yourself.

I have the olive in my cart. Since its 100% poly I dont think it will shed like a cotton would do.

I like this. Ordered the Mallard Blue. Will go great with jeans. Contemplating the Dark Burgundy. Want to see that on-screen first though.

There is a thread about this in the TSV Forum as well.

Within the last couple of weeks, HSN had a very, very similar looking chenille open front cardigan as a TS by Antthony.

Would love to know about shedding. I used to have to dust my desk at work after wearing chenille. Aside from that, I love how the fabric feels.

I have not had good luck with QVC's chennile. Sheds and continually got larger! The stretching out was a real issue!

I understand completely. When I was looking for a new D&C fleece coat for my elderly mother recently (she loved her old one), I was disappointed to see that it was cheapened by an ugly print lining the hood. I showed the pic to her and she agreed. That’s when I realized that the issues with denim and Company in the last couple of years are about the designer’s bad or low-end taste level. Which is too bad. There’s been a major change in that line. I wouldn’t want it not to change but, like Talbot’s or Brooks Brothers or other brands that I like, it could evolve while still being classic and preppy. But it hasn’t.

Oh yes I remember the chenille that sheds! I tried a Stan Herman robe many many yrs ago and it was chenille and it wouldn't stop shedding no matter how many times I washed it. Horrible but I don't think from the look of this Denim&Co. TSV that it's that fabric I am remembering....looks soft and pretty colors.

Ever since I read "Portnoy's Complaint" years ago, I try to avoid both liver and chenille.
